This post is long overdue but oh well. I’ve received many questions about my studio apartment tour in the Everygirl (mostly about my pink ikat rug!), so I wanted to share a few more photos and provide some of the sources too. My favorite place to shop for my apartment is Home Goods (and Craigslist too), so a lot of those things can’t be sourced. But if I left out anything, leave me a comment and I’ll tell you where it’s from.

A wall of windows really provides great light in my apartment and makes it feel so much bigger than it is.

French pillow | Coffee table and side table: found on Craigslist | Couch: passed down from a friend | Gray fleece chairs: Bloomingdales from the 1980s | metallic pillows from Urban Outfitters (old)

For my wallpaper entry, I tore out full pages of magazines with images I love – food (the fired chicken photo might be my favorite), fashion, interiors, cute boys, colorful designs – and using double sided tape, I put them up in rows. I think there’s about 150 pages up on the wall. I can easily remove one image if I find another one I like.

Also, how embarrassing. I forgot to clean up that messy area above my fridge where I store bags of chips and pans. Oops. :)

If you haven’t already, head over to the Everygirl and read more about my apartment.

Oh, and if you want to see something hilarious, check out this post from 2009 where I share some photos from my then brand new apartment. It feels nice to look back and see how both my apartment and I have grown.

I didn’t immediately fall in love with this month’s art to inspiration. It’s just a bit too busy for me. However, I was drawn to the different patterns in the little gold circles. They’re all so interesting. So I turned to the Anthropolgie where I go to stock up on pattern for my closet. So here are some of my favorite designs from their current collection. Which one do you like best?

This was my (Aries) horoscope yesterday and it couldn’t be more dead on. Seriously, it KNOWS things about me. I won’t think of it as creepy but as great observation and advice for us all as we embark on a beautiful new week. Happy Monday!
